Georgian tiles were a popular tile style that were first created with versatility in mind.
Georgian floor tiles are geometric ceramic/clay tiles that were created with versatility in mind. Traditionally the tiles came in a variety of shapes, sizes and often Black and White in colour. The tiles were used to create an infinite array of tessellating designs to compliment and decorate period architecture.
Whilst being hard wearing and practical, Georgian floor tile schemes served to wow and entertain guests. In the modern day their lasting presence is testament to the quality of both the manufacture of the tile and the skilled installation by the artisans of a bygone era.
Typically Georgian designs were neo-Classical in appearance predominantly using white and black tiles. Popular designs included large format checker boards and octagon based patterns, along with Roman style micro mosaic schemes.
Across cities in Scotland and England, this Georgian style of tiling is once again becoming a popular choice with customers looking to create modern dream kitchens, bathrooms and hallways that compliment the look and feel of their period home.
Georgian tiled flooring was originally conceived to create a wow factor in a room and it is a testament to their quality that so many homes still feature these striking tiled patterns.
However time is an enemy to us all and through neglect, poor DIY attempts, powerful chemical cleaning agents and even the vibration from heavy road traffic outside, these period tiling features can literally come undone.

Brian from Newcastle We were replacing a carpet in our hall and discovered the original Victorian tiling was still there. Andrew came to our home, looked at the tiling and gave us a quote with no hassle. His attention to detail and careful and methodical approach are clear in the end results. We are so delighted with the work that he has done. We never thought about having a tiled hallway but we are more than delighted with the results and it has increased the value of our home considerably.
Andy from Glasgow We were looking for our Storm Door area and hallway to have a matching contemporary geometric tile design to them. We want a modern take that worked with our period Victorian home. Andrew was one of three tilers we call. He was the only one who took any measurements and really looked at the set up that we wanted. We went Were because they seemed to know what they were talking about and we were impressed with their detailed quote breakdown. It meant we knew exactly what to expect. And the end result - we could not be more happy with the end results. Our hallway looks better than ever.
